What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

[TFoley]

8:36am here in dull, drizzly and not even daylight Eastern England, Just had the first of two bacon rolls waiting for my melting pot to heat up. Today I will be mostly casting .451cal pointy-nose bullets of 535gr for my Parker-Hale Whitworth, in readiness for the next outing on Thursday of the coming week. Still looking for thick felt to make wads, though, $0.50 apiece for bought items is a mite too heady for me.

Took the 50 out today to do a little flintlock hunting here southwest pa. 22 degrees F with a feels like 9 F. Didn't have any luck but still enjoyed the time in the woods. Try again tomorrow should be a little bit warmer.

Took the Double barrel.58 out here in Ohio

It's always good to be out even if you don't have a successful hunt. I think it just being out there. I like the flintlock season best.

[Mtman725]

Finished making a Powder Horn, which I am pleased with

Nice work.

Favorite time of the year. Quiet woods… deer calm, cold ..real hunting stuff.
muzzleloader season separates the real men ! Ha

Cleaned out my daughter's trade box she made up, well let's not say how many years ago, but it was in the dark ages, and found a dandy little powder horn that is just perfect for my squirrel rifle.

Going through the fifty box.
Checking out which mold to lap for fit to a flintlock bore.

Put pre-stain and stain on my DGW mountain rifle renovation. Stained twice with dark walnut Minwax oil stain. Still looks bad to me. Sorting thru stuff for gunshow this weekend. Tried making little flints from musket flints again after looking at even more videos. Brother-in-law makes whiskey, gave me a bottle for Christmas. I made a batch of Irish Cream. Turned out better'n those darned flints.

Wish I had a BIL like that!

Got a new belt axe and trying to come up with a simple wrap to protect the edge and me from the edge.

Went out hunting today with my best friend. Woods are quite very enjoyable. Seen a few small deer but left them go. Don't want to end hunting season too early. I just love being out in the woods. For me This is what it's all about.

Well, I "shot" this guy walking through my front yard today!

Disassembled my Hy Hunter Buccaneer again to check the breech plug, bought flints, read more forum posts, applied another coat of Tru-Oil to the CVA Kentucky pistol project, and polished the lock on it as well.
Hoping my Pedersoli Kentucky rifle comes in the mail tomorrow so I can take a good 3-4 blackpowder guns out to the range this weekend for my birthday.

Pulled apart my lady’s hawkin .50 and re sanded it, adjusted a few things and prepped it for stain and finish.
